Rockets Set for Hawks Matchup Amid Three-Game Streak

Oklahoma City entered its first back-to-back of the season facing the Phoenix Suns after Jalen Williams suffered a serious leg injury against the Clippers, with other Thunder players also hurt and the lineup for the rematch uncertain. The previous Clippers preview had highlighted Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s return against his former team and Chet Holmgren’s strong early-season play. In Atlanta, the Rockets were coming off a close win over San Antonio, while the Hawks brought momentum from a lopsided victory over Charlotte; Fred VanVleet was expected to sit and Marcus Smart was questionable for Houston.
